How to make a slider card

1. Trim two pieces of card to 15x15cm. Place one piece on top of the other then punch out a 1.5cm semi-circle from the centre of the top edge. Take the top piece of card then use a craft knife to cut two vertical 10cm lines at 2.5cm in from each side.

2. Cut horizontally between the bottom of the two vertical cuts, to create a flap, then score horizontally between the top of the two vertical cuts, to create a hinge. Make another horizontal score line at 1cm up from the bottom edge of the flap then attach double-sided tape on the reverse of this section.

3. Score horizontally along the centre of the flap then mountain fold at the score line.

4. Attach a sentiment onto the other 15x15cm piece of card, so that the greeting sits underneath the flap when the cut and scored piece of card is placed on top of it.

5. Cut an 11×12.5cm piece of card, layer a slightly smaller piece of patterned paper on top of it then attach the papered side to the double-sided tape on the reverse of the flap. Punch a hole in the other end of the papered panel and tie a small length of ribbon through it, to create the tab for the slider element.

6. Run double-sided tape along the sides and bottom edge of the square card base then attach the card with the slider element on top.
